Description

This group aims to spread awareness about Vipassana and Anapana Meditation, and to discuss any queries,comments about these.
Vipassana Meditation has tremendous potential for adults and Anapana Meditation is very helpful to all children/students.

Vipassana and Anapana are come-and-see techniques, which require no blind belief, are rational and scientific, and give results here and now.

The Buddha said :
"Do not believe in anything
simply because you have heard it,
or simply because they have been handed down for many generations,
or simply because it is spoken and rumored by many,
or simply because it is found written in your religious books,
or merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
But when, after observation and analysis,you find anything that agrees with reason,and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all,then accept it and live up to it. "

The Buddha also said :
"Give me just seven days of your life. I am not here to make you my disciple. I am not interested in that. I am not here to snatch you from your old guru. I am not interested in that. I am not here to tell you that you must believe what I say. I am not interested in that. Give a trial and see what you get. Give a trial."
